● The total value of the deal is 1.46 million euros, and these funds will be distributed among 150 farmers in Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Poland who take part in the eAgronom Carbon Programme, which together has put sustainable farming practices in place across 28,000 hectares.
● The carbon credits sold deliver a climate benefit equivalent to taking around 6,300 petrol-powered cars off the road for a year.
● The deal was carried out in partnership with carbon project developer and climate consultancy South Pole. The certified carbon credits were bought by companies from the public sector, utilities, telecommunications and consumer goods industries.
Following registration with the Verra Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) at the start of this year, eAgronom, a sustainable agriculture technology company that helps farmers adopt sustainable farming practices, has successfully sold 29,000 Verra-certified soil carbon credits. The deal has resulted in the first major payouts to farmers taking part in the eAgronom Carbon Programme, totalling 1.46 million euros. These credits represent verified CO₂ removal and emissions reductions achieved by farmers adopting regenerative farming practices that meet one of the strictest standards in the world, giving buyers confidence in their quality and reliability.
Revenue from the deal will be split among 150 farmers in Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and Poland who have introduced regenerative farming methods across 28,000 hectares of agricultural land. The deal shows how regenerative agriculture can create new income streams for farmers while helping companies meet their climate goals. The climate benefit generated is equivalent to taking around 6,300 petrol-powered cars off the road for a year.
The deal was carried out in partnership with leading carbon project developer and climate consultancy South Pole, which helped ensure the project's compliance with the Verra VM0042 methodology and supported the sale of the certified credits. The eAgronom project attracted buyers from the public sector, utilities, telecommunications and consumer goods industries, reflecting growing corporate interest in high-quality, verified climate solutions with measurable climate impact, while also supporting the farming community.
"This is just the visible tip of the iceberg. We expect to reach 1 million credits in 2026 and 2027, and around 4 million credits in 2028. Each credit represents CO₂ that has been removed from the atmosphere and stored in fertile soils, thanks to the additional regenerative farming practices farmers are adopting," says Robin Saluoks, CEO and co-founder of eAgronom.
The project is registered under the Verra VM0042 methodology, one of the strictest standards in agricultural land management. It allows farmers to generate carbon credits by cutting emissions and increasing carbon sequestration in the soil through improved, more sustainable farming practices.
"This successful sale of 29,000 credits confirms both the quality of our rigorous, data-driven methodology and the market's trust in farmers adopting sustainable farming practices. Companies are increasingly recognising the value of nature-friendly solutions. They deliver real, measurable climate impact while supporting the agricultural sector's shift towards a more sustainable model," says eAgronom's Head of Carbon Credit Sales and Partnerships, Jens Olejak.
The eAgronom Carbon Programme helps farmers adopt sustainable farming methods and improve soil health, providing the tools, advice and financial support needed. Through practices such as reduced tillage, cover cropping and more efficient fertiliser use, farmers can improve soil quality, increase their farms' resilience to extreme weather, strengthen long-term productivity and create new income streams in the voluntary carbon market.
As demand in Europe continues to grow for transparent, high-quality carbon sequestration solutions, eAgronom is expanding its cooperation with both farmers and companies wanting to buy these credits, to drive the expansion of regenerative agriculture across Europe and beyond.
